When energy is used to make things move, it is transformed from one form

When energy is used to make things move, it is transformed from one form into another.

Most energy transformations can be traced back to the sun: the original source of energy for life on earth.

Simple energy transformation: Sunlight (radiant energy) shines on a person's face and changes to

Simple energy transformation: Sunlight (radiant energy) shines on a person's face and changes to thermal energy.

Why this happens: As your skin absorbs energy the molecules move faster which produces

Why this happens: As your skin absorbs energy the molecules move faster which produces heat.

Some energy transformations take place in complex chains.

Old style steam locomotive In this old steam engine, steam is used to move pistons which make the wheels turn. Radiant Chemical Thermal Mechanical

Old style steam locomotive How it works: Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed

Old style steam locomotive How it works: Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed by plants. Plants produce chemical energy through photosynthesis. The plants die and become fossil fuels (chemical energy). In the locomotive the chemical energy is burned (thermal energy). The steam created from thermal energy turns (mechanical energy) the wheels to make the locomotive move.

THINK ABOUT IT Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed

THINK ABOUT IT Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. Identify all the energy transformations that occur when you operate a hair dryer.
